[herrold@(protected) ~]$ mkdir temp
[herrold@(protected) ~]$ cd temp
[herrold@(protected) temp]$ for i in `seq 1 5` ; do touch sample$i ; done ; ls
sample1 sample2 sample3 sample4 sample5
[herrold@(protected) temp]$ find -type f -a -exec rm {} \; ; ls
[herrold@(protected) temp]$
The -exec does not need further quoteing to protect the 'rm'
in this context; -a is a conjunction operator
-R
